8. The elevator joiner wire must be ﬂ ush with the leading

edge of the elevator as shown.

9. Check to make sure the elevator halves are in alignment

with each other.

10. If the elevators are not in alignment, use pliers to bend

the joiner wire slightly to bring the halves into alignment.

 Poorly aligned elevators will cause problems

with trimming your model in flight.

11. Continue the assembly of your model once joiner wire has

been correctly checked and adjusted.

12. Remove the elevators from the joiner wire. Fit the joiner

wire into the fuselage, noting the position from the

previous step. This will guarantee the joiner is placed

correctly so the elevators will be oriented as prepared in

the previous step.

 The slot for the elevator horn will be located on the

bottom right of the fuselage when the elevators are installed.

13. Slide the stabilizer partially into the fuselage so the

wood at the center is exposed. Mix 1/2 ounce (15ml) of

30-minute epoxy. Use an epoxy brush to apply the epoxy

to the exposed wood on the top of the stabilizer.

14. Carefully turn the model over and apply epoxy to the

exposed wood on the bottom of the stabilizer. Slide the

stabilizer back into position.

 Use care not to get epoxy on the elevator joiner wire.

15. Once the alignment of the stabilizer has been veriﬁ ed, use

a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any excess

epoxy from the fuselage and stabilizer. Allow the epoxy to

fully cure before proceeding.

 If you find epoxy on the joiner wire, use the paper

towel and isopropyl alcohol to clean the joiner.

16. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a

hole in the center of each hinge slot to allow the CA to

wick into the hinge. Drill holes in both the elevators and

stabilizer surfaces at this time. Place a T-pin in the center

of each hinge along side the slot in the hinge. This will

help center the hinge when it is placed in the elevators.

Slide the hinges into position with the T-pin resting

against the edge of the control surface.

17. Fit the elevator into position on the stabilizer. Guide the

joiner wire and hinges into position.

remove the elevators.

20. Use a small strip of the clear packaging material and

slide it between the joiner wire and stabilizer. Make sure

the packing material is cut so it does not obstruct the

hinge slot. Use a small piece of low-tack tape to hold the

packing material in position.

 The clear packing material is used

to prevent accidentally gluing the elevators

or joiner wire to the stabilizer.

21. Mix a small amount of 15-minute epoxy. Use a toothpick

to apply epoxy to the joiner wire.

22. Use a toothpick to apply epoxy to the stabilizer where it

contacts the joiner wire.

18. Fit the elevator so the leading edge ﬁ ts tightly against the

trailing edge of the stabilizer.

24. Check the alignment of the elevators in relationship to

the stabilizer at the tips. There should be enough gap

between the balance tab and stabilizer to they can move

freely.

 Do not use CA accelerator when gluing hinges. The

CA must be allowed to soak into each hinge to provide the

greatest bond between the hinges and surrounding wood.

25. Flex the elevator slightly, making sure to keep the gap

between the elevator and stabilizer as narrow as possible.

Saturate each of the hinges using thin CA. Apply CA to the

top of the hinges.

26. Flex the elevator slightly, making sure to keep the gap

between the elevator and stabilizer as narrow as possible.

Saturate each of the hinges using thin CA. Apply CA to

the bottom of the hinges. Allow the CA to cure before

proceeding.

27. Gently pull on the ﬁ xed and moving surface to make sure

the hinges are glued securely. If not, reapply thin CA to

any hinges that are found loose.

23. Fit the elevators back into position. Remove the T-pins

and slide the elevators tightly against the stabilizer. Use a

paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any excess

epoxy before it begins to cure.

2. Check the ﬁ t of the rudder to the fuselage. There should

be no gap between the ﬁ n and rudder.

3. Apply thin CA to both sides of each hinge. Once the CA

cures, gently pull on the ﬁ xed surface and control surface

to make sure the hinges are glued securely. If not, apply

additional CA to secure each of the hinges.

1. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a

hole in the center of each hinge slot. This allows the CA

to wick into the hinge. Drill holes in both the rudder and

ﬁ n surfaces at this time. Place a T-pin in the center of the

hinge. Slide the hinges into position with the T-pin resting

against the edge of the control surface.

 RUDDER INSTALLATION

1. Position the steering tiller on the bottom of the rudder.

The arms of the tiller will be perpendicular to the rudder

centerline. Make sure the tiller is as far forward as

possible, yet doesn’t interfere with the operation of the

rudder. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the locations for the

tiller mounting screws on the bottom of the rudder.

3. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to thread an M3 x 10 self-

tapping screw into each of the holes. Remove the screws,

then apply a few drops of thin CA in each hole to harden

the surrounding wood.

2. Use a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to drill

the two holes in the bottom of the rudder for the tiller

mounting screws.

4. Secure the tiller arm on the bottom of the rudder using

two M3 x 10 self-tapping screws. Tighten the screws

using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

5. Before installing the tail wheel bracket, thread an M3 x 12

secure the tail wheel bracket. Apply a small amount of

threadlock on each screw and use a 2.5mm hex wrench

to tighten the screws. Use threadlock on all metal-to-

metal fasteners to prevent them from vibrating loose.

1. Use pliers to bend each of the ﬁ ttings to about a

45-degree angle. Bias the bend toward the smaller hole

in the ﬁ tting.

2. Attach the ﬁ ttings to the stabilizer using two M3 x 12

screws and two M3 nuts. Fittings are placed on the top

and bottom of the stabilizer. Use threadlock on all the nuts

to prevent them from vibrating loose.

3. Attach the ﬁ ttings to the ﬁ n using an M3 x 12 screws and

M3 nut. Fittings are placed on both sides of the rudder.

Use threadlock on all the nuts to prevent them from

vibrating loose.

7. Use side cutters to rim the excess wire from the springs.

Use small pliers to bend the last coil to form a loop that

can be connected to the tail wheel arm and tiller arm.

4. Thread a cable end into the clevis. The threads of the

cable end will protrude 1/8-inch (3mm) between the

forks of the clevis. Prepare four of these connectors. Use

threadlock on all metal-to-metal fasteners to prevent

them from vibrating loose.

5. Prepare one cable by sliding the cable through a sleeve,

through the cable end, then back through the sleeve.
